Motivate Yourself to Work Out with These 5 Fitness Instagram Accounts

It is officially summer! What that means, other than us being in better moods, is that many of us are hoping to get our bodies in shape for the beach. Sadly, the truth is we should have already started, but hey, it's never too late! With that, there are a number of Instagram accounts dedicated merely to fitness, ones that can actually act as a motivator for us to get ourselves off that couch and onto a treadmill or lifting some weights.

Huffington Post is reporting on some of these accounts, but we're going to give you the top 5 we think could motivate you to get your booty to the gym.

After all, a little motivation couldn't hurt, no?
